"Akshay is a lot of fun. I think he is a good balance of professionalism mixed with fun," the actress said.

"He is very disciplined about maintaining himself, about his work, about his punctuality yet he is a prankster, very laid back, has a good sense of humor and a wonderful comic timing and is witty."

The South Indian star said that the plotline to the sequel differs dramatically to the original hit film.

"It's an entirely new story although there are actors who are in both films. The characters are completely new; they are very different compared to those from Housefull," she explained.

Asin went on to add: "The only similarity is that a lot of people come together under one roof. Housefull 2 is about fathers, daughters, and it's about these four friends and their interrelationship and confusions which are created.

"That's what the film is about. It's obviously a comedy, an entertainer, a mainstream commercial film."
